Chapter Fifty-Six: Kusan Maru

He raised his eyebrows playfully, put down his wiped hands naturally, and slowly walked to Chu Yunjing's side.

had a straight face, and Chu Yunjing didn't think much about it, but Zhou Yang suddenly stretched out his hands in front of her, deliberately roared, and grimaced at her.

She was taken aback in an instant, reacted and gave Zhou Yang a roll of the eyes, and then punched him viciously.

However, these little fists didn't hurt or itch to Zhou Yang, and this farce ended with Zhou Yang's laughter.....

After packing up the arrows, the two went to Concubine Du's bedroom, which was still the same method of blocking their noses yesterday.

She untied the shawl tied around her waist and wrapped it around her face a few times, covering her mouth and nose so tightly that she could vaguely gasp for air.

Chu Yunjing didn't want to smell the stench more, she followed Zhou Yang's steps, and walked towards last night's dormitory one after another.

Pushing open the gate of vicissitudes, what catches your eye is the former glory of Jianzhang Palace, and walking in is the inner hall where Concubine Du Shu died tragically.

Same as last night, the giant corpse was still arranged in large letters, its head hanging from the side of the bed, and its whole face hanging upside down, hideous.

During the day, she could see the corpse's expression more carefully than last night, and it was even more terrifying.

It's like stunned! Maybe the facial features have been eaten by maggots, because the fleshless is round, so it looks like a surprise!

Zhou Yang was not afraid, as always, she looked at the corpse as if nothing happened, she stared at Du Shufei's face for a long time, and smacked to herself.

A person who used to show off his might is now lifeless, and he will no longer be complacent.

She subconsciously checked the chest cavity of the corpse, because the giant female corpse outside was killed by the dark arrow, and she wanted to see if Du Shufei also died from the dark arrow.

The result was unexpected, after she and Zhou Yang examined the surface of the corpse, they did not see any arrow wounds or external injuries.

At this time, Zhou Yang seemed to know something, and picked up the candlestick next to the bed and played with the corpse's mouth.

With the frequency of Zhou Yang's playing, countless wriggling maggots fell out of the corpse's mouth, and the corpse had no tongue and all its teeth fell out.

There was only flesh and skin that seemed to be connected, and he fiddled with it a few more times, and when all the maggots and flesh on the surface had fallen off, he could vaguely see the flesh and blood that were still intact.

Zhou Yang used the sharpness of the candlestick to cut off the intact flesh and blood in the corpse's mouth, and when he cut it out, he saw that the flesh and blood were all black!

Black flesh and blood, poisoned!

"To be able to provoke so many poisonous insects after death, and to emit this kind of corpse stench, it must be a poison!" Zhou Yang squatted on the ground at the moment, using the candlestick to get a small amount of black meat on the ground, and squinted coldly at the corpse hanging next to the bed and said in a deep voice.

"What is it?" She hurriedly asked.

Zhou Yang turned his head to meet her sincere and curious gaze, and said rigorously: "It's the same as the killer's mouth that day - Jiuxi Pill!" ”

This poison is a poison commonly used by the dark guards on the rivers and lakes, which can be used as a medicine that harms people, and can also be used as a medicine for suicide after mission failure, the cost is not high, but the effect is indeed full, and people will die without feeling much pain after taking it.

"Since they have all been imprisoned for life, why bother to kill them all." She lamented.

Zhou Yang used the sharp part of the candlestick to pick up the piece of black meat on the ground and threw it under the bed, thus destroying the evidence that had infiltrated today.

If you get the desired result, you don't have to destroy this huge corpse, Concubine Du just needs to wait for the corpse to come.

"Concubine Du Shu has been arrogant for half her life, and she always gives the queen a face, how can the queen let her have a good result." At this time, Zhou Yang stood up, put the candlestick back properly, and looked at the tragic death of Concubine Du Shufei and said leisurely.

She nodded yes, the queen is not a generous person, it's not that she doesn't report that the time has not come!

This poison has such a great effect, not to mention the death, the corpse will also be eaten by thousands of poisonous insects, and emit a foul and unpleasant smell.

This is to make the dead unsafe after death.

Fortunately, the body of the giant maid at the palace wall was not poisoned, otherwise Zhou Yang would have been infected with the poisonous gas of poisonous insects just after taking the arrow.

Maybe Zhou Yang knew that there was no poison on that arrow, after all, he was strong in martial arts and knew everything.

Chu Yunjing also stood up at this time, and looked at the man in front of him thoughtfully: "It's better to ..... Let's set a fire in Jianzhang Palace! ”

She raised her eyebrows, and uttered a bad idea, which was not impossible.

After all, there will be no one approaching Jianzhang Palace for a while and a half, and you can only make a little fire to attract palace people to extinguish the fire, as long as there is a palace that walks water, it will inevitably be opened to extinguish the fire, and come to check the damage to the palace.

So she didn't stop doing it, picked up the fire fold that had fallen here last night, blew it around, and miraculously lit it.

She went to the outer room, set the hanging curtains on fire, and the fire, accompanied by flammable brocade cloth, soon burst into flames and climbed up the carved beams.

Seeing that the fire was getting bigger and bigger, she was worried that she would burn Du Shufei's body without waiting for anyone to come, so she could only close the door of the inner room in a panic.

Closing the door had no effect, just delaying the fire from reaching the inner room.

She dragged Zhou Yang out of the main hall of Jianzhang Palace, and Zhou Yang walked towards the dining room with all his thoughts, he wanted to get the arrow.

The fire behind him was so big that black smoke could be seen from outside, and perhaps the guards on patrol at the moment had seen it and were rushing to this side.

Zhou Yang ran quickly to the dining room, and when she arrived at the dining room, she only saw Zhou Yang wrapping the slightly shiny silver arrow in a handkerchief, and then putting it in his arms.

She hurriedly pulled Zhou Yang to run out, and her footsteps stopped abruptly halfway through, and there was a shout on the road outside: "Someone! Jianzhang Palace is out of the water! Someone! ”

These shouts came and went, obviously noticed by the people outside, and were trying to break through the palace gate of Jianzhang Palace.

Zhou Yang's eyes were quick, and he pulled Chu Yunjing to run back, and found a quiet corner, he climbed over the palace wall, looked at the outside, and then hugged Chu Yunjing out.

This place is closer to the partial gate of Jianzhang Palace, the palace road is narrow, it is obviously the path that wants to connect with the palace next to it, and no one finds it here.

The palace people here all went to the main gate to put out the fire, and no one paid attention to these corners.

She restored the shawl to its original state, rearranged her clothes, and walked to the palace road one after the other.

The fire in Jianzhang Palace is not big, but the main hall burned a little, and there was a thick black smoke, which made the battle bigger.

However, the kung fu of a cup of tea was extinguished by the palace people who rushed to fight the fire, and they were all shouting that Concubine Du Shu was missing.

Concubine Du's body will always be found by them, and at that time, only these palace people can be used to report to the saint, as for how to deal with the aftermath, it is all up to Your Majesty.

"How will Your Majesty handle this?" Behind him, Zhou Yang's usual calm tone came.

She walked dignified without looking back, and thought for a moment: "The Sacred Heart is unfathomable!" ”

After thinking about it for a long time, she really couldn't guess these four words, but she was inclined that His Majesty would order a strict investigation, and then she was hastily found out what was wrong.

Sure enough, after the palace people who put out the fire found the body of Concubine Du Shu, they reported that the body had indeed been dead for many days and had been corroded.

The Holy Majesty ordered the forbidden army to strictly investigate the death of Concubine Du Shu, and disposed of the eunuchs who delivered meals to Jianzhang Palace on weekdays.

In the end, the person who was investigated was crowned with a person who did not eat for more than a day and starved to death!

What a sloppy thing!

One is to explain the law to the people of the world, and the other is to explain the law to the Du family, and kill all the eunuchs' family who delivered meals.

After all, it was Concubine Du Shufei who did her own evil and was locked up, and she couldn't blame anyone else except the eunuch.

As for the real cause of Concubine Du Shu's death, no one cares, except for Chu Yunjing and Zhou Yang.

After he went back, he carefully cleaned the arrow several times, revealing its original appearance, a thin silver short arrow, which is often configured on the arm crossbow, and is used to hurt people with hidden arrows.

In addition, I can't see anything else, there is no origin on the arrow, and it can be determined that it is equipped by soldiers, so it is related to those secret guards raised by King Huai.

Chu Yunjing took out one of the poisons that Qiu Kang took out from the dead man's mouth that day, put it in a glass bottle, and sent it out of the palace.

She wanted Sun De to find out what was the origin of this Jiu Xi Pill.

In the past few days, there has been a news that has surprised her a little, Wen Zhao, the fifth son of the Wen family, has made an exception to become the lieutenant of the Forbidden Army.

I heard that it was Wen Shao who personally asked for an official position, and His Majesty asked Wen Shao what reward he wanted, but Wen Shao only said that he wanted his younger brother to have some work to do.

Wen Zhao's great name has long spread in Kyoto, and now he has a family again, Wen Shao personally interceded, hindering the previous affair with the Ma family.

His Majesty only gave a seventh-rank lieutenant, which was naturally nothing to the Wen family, but it was a good thing for Wen Zhao's stupid boy who was eager to make meritorious contributions.

He always thought that after making meritorious contributions, he could carry his Ma Baozhang as the main room, and with this official position, he would have the capital to make meritorious contributions.

After taking office, everyone respects him, who doesn't know that he is the son and brother of the Wen family, and there are opportunities for promotion and promotion in the future, and everyone is very stuck.

The Wen family seems to have hardened again after Wen Shao returned to Beijing, sweeping away the pickled affairs of the Wen and Ma families before.

Military generals have military merits, which is strength!

What surprised her even more was that Wen Zhao found an opportunity to visit Jiuhua Hall after taking office.

said that he was grateful for saving Ma Baozhang that day, if it weren't for her matchmaking, the two would have loved each other and wanted to say goodbye with hatred.

She thinks that Wen Zhao is a grateful person, but his heart is too straight, and he is not able to use his brain to plan things.

It's not bad to have a bad heart, such a big cheap to send to the door, how can she not want it, even saying that she will be wronged in the palace in the future, even if she comes to her.

and the people of the Wen family do not suffer.

A few days later, Sun De wrote that the Jiuxi Pill was indeed nothing special, except that it could make the corpse attract poisonous insects and emit a foul smell, but this kind of thing was common in the rivers and lakes.

It is rare to find this poison in Kyoto, which is a major place in the court, and Sun De also went to the black market to check the direction of this poison in Kyoto.

The buyer's traces are very secretive, and they have been prepared for a long time, and they cannot be found out at all.

Even so, she knew who it was, and then ordered Sun De not to investigate again, so as not to be detected by those who were pregnant with the king.
